In the beginning of the year I made a list of everything that I needed to get done for BeFree Project in 2014. I posted my goals where I had no choice but to see them every single day and I realized a few weeks back that I’ve completed 99% of everything on my list.

I titled 2014 as my “year of building + learning” and I’ve done just that. From reading, networking, attending a conference, listening to podcast and webinars and even hiring a business coach. I was able to accomplish my goals because I was focused + intentional about what I needed in order to get things done in 2014.

Only thing I didn’t get done in 2014 was book a paid speaking engagement, but honestly I wasn’t ready for it. The plan for 2015 will be to first take public speaking courses and then look for speaking opportunities.

Last weekend I hosted my 4th BeFree Life Class and I received a lot of positive feedback as it relates to goal setting. I shared with the ladies the importance of making SMART Goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) and having an accountability partner.

I want to share a few tips to help you kick off the new year but let me first say that completing your goals takes hard work. It's not meant to come easy but if you feel like me and you refuse to be average and live a mediocre life then I highly recommend you apply these tips.
